My Journey

From teaching to development: A story of resilience, learning, and growth

The Teaching Years

2005 - 2009

As Web Development Program Director at Anthem Institute, I discovered my passion for making complex concepts accessible. Teaching HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP to students across multiple campuses taught me that code should be teachable and maintainable – principles that still guide my development approach today.

Overcoming Challenges

Personal Growth

Life presented unexpected challenges that tested my resilience. Through these experiences, I learned that perseverance and adaptability are as crucial in life as they are in code. This deepened my understanding of accessibility and inclusive design – principles I now champion in every project.

Modern Development

2009 - Present

My journey evolved from WordPress customization to building enterprise-scale applications with React, Next.js, and AI integrations. The educator in me still shines through – I believe in writing code that tells a story, documenting thoroughly, and mentoring team members to ensure every project is built for the long term.

Today's Mission

Building the Future

As Founder and Lead Developer at IntraWeb Technologies, I'm exploring AI-driven solutions like SynaplyAI and their potential in web development. My mission: contributing to technology that helps people – whether that's through accessible interfaces, intelligent automation, or mentoring the next generation of developers.

My Development Philosophy

Code is communication. Every line should be clear, every function should tell a story, and every system should be built with future developers in mind. This educator mindset drives me to create solutions that are not just functional, but truly maintainable and scalable.
